Colts kicker competition tightens as preseason finale approaches

Entering the final week of preseason, the Indianapolis Colts continue to evaluate their kicker competition. Special teams coordinator Brian Mason noted that Blake Grupe has an 86% success rate on field goals this offseason, while Spencer Shrader has made 81%. However, Shrader has gained momentum with a perfect record on field goals in preseason games, including two attempts over 50 yards. No decision has been made yet on who will take on the kicking responsibilities for the upcoming season, with both kickers scheduled to participate in the preseason finale against Detroit.
